Well, you *can* get mplayer to compile if you're willing to jump through
the hoops they've put there (obligatory link to
http://bero.org/gcc296.html which has the explanation of their
misconceptions).  

But, xine also worked well for divx and dvds back when I was trying the
media players regularly (which has been six months or more now)

Cheers,

Jeremy
